Directions

Step 1
Pound chicken breasts to an even 1/2-inch thickness. Season with salt and pepper. Set up a breading station: one shallow dish with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs. Dredge each chicken cutlet first in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs, pressing to coat well.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry breaded chicken cutlets in batches for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 3
Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce in the bottom of a baking dish. Place fried chicken cutlets over the sauce.
Step 4
Top each chicken cutlet with more marinara sauce, then a slice of fresh mozzarella, and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.
Step 5
Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden. For extra browning, you can broil for the last minute.
Step 6
Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve immediately, perhaps with a side of pasta or a simple salad.
